Landslip-hit Pembrokeshire coastal path reopens after months of work
A landslip-hit section of the Wales Coastal Path in Pembrokeshire has re-opened after its latest months of work.
The path between Coppet Hall, Saundersfoot and Wisemans Bridge, which includes an under-cliff tunnel, has been plagued by landslips since late 2023 and most recently closed since the end of February 2025.
Earlier this year, it was stated that £700,000 had already been spent by Pembrokeshire County Council on repairs.

At the time of the February closure, the authority predicted that the work would take around four months, and has now shared the news on Facebook that the path has re-opened.
The post stated: "Some great news to bring you this afternoon – the popular coastal footpath between Coppet Hall and Wiseman's Bridge has re-opened – just in time for the lovely weather!
"Thanks to everyone for their patience while the important safety work was carried out over the last few months following a series of landslides.
"Thanks also to the council teams and contractors who have worked tirelessly to open the pathway.

Hundreds of locals and visitors have welcomed the path's re-opening.
Said one Saundersfoot resident: 'It makes a huge difference to our community.' Another commented: 'Delighted to be able to use it again'.
And there was also gratitude for the extensive work which has been carried out, with one person posting: 'Thank you to all those who made it safe for us.'
